Priorities
What was that? Something about having promised you socks? Yes, yes I do recall something like that. Alas, our weekend didn't quite allow for daylight sock photography. We had an epic, two-day game of Carcassonne instead, and I'm not at all sorry. But never fear, there was knitting. I had [...]
Yes, Again
Do you remember earlier this year when I fell prey to a Wee Hat obsession. Those hats went off to their intended victims long ago. I managed to arrange a photo shoot before they did, but there was an unfortunate pink lemonade incident that meant the photos weren't all they [...]
Not Quite
You'll recall that this whole star thing started as a way to make it snow. It still hasn't worked, but apparently my furnace heard about my concerns and wanted in on the act. So last night, when it was just the tiniest bit nippy outside (even if it wasn't snowing) [...]
Easily Amused
Huh, ok, you guys like the stars. Honestly, I'm a little surprised. I find it ever so slightly shameful that I like them (they're paper...folded paper...there should be fairly low amusement value here). I'm downright shocked that you guys do. I was expecting some folded arms and foot tapping and [...]
My Misspent Youth
Earlier this week, I opened the windows in my house. Yesterday, I went to the grocery store wearing sandals. Something has to be done. It's December, it's Ohio, it should not be in the 60s. I need to make it snow. This is traditionally done by hanging either straw stars [...]
Toes
The Boy's sock is done. Note that's sock, not socks. He'll likely want both. I'll need to be a clever kid and take some notes while I make the second, as I think these are nifty enough to share (and they require a bit of fancy maneuvering to get things [...]
As Promised
One furry boy leg and one partially completed sock. The sock is actually about an inch longer than this now (String Theory Merino DK...it knits up wicked wicked wicked fast, and the cables are marvelously sharp), and I may even finish the first one this weekend. I was all worried [...]
Christmas Shipping Deadlines
Ready for the most boring post ever? I warn you, there's nothing interesting here at all. If you want to be totally sure that your book arrives (at a U.S. address) before Christmas, you need to order it on or before December 10. I know. It stinks. If it's after [...]
Under No Circumstances
One of the guiding rules that govern our household is 'don't dress the cats.' Yes, the kitten overlords are dedicated naturists. We tried a brief flirtation with collars, but even that ended in failure. So you may be a bit surprised when I show you this picture. Levon was certainly [...]
Next
In between the website upgrades, the movies, and the ice cream making, the weekend saw a bit of time for some actual knitting. These are the newest sock on the needles and they will be for The Boy (he certainly deserves them after all the computer time he clocked over [...]
